James Cagney won an Oscar for his song-and-dance portrayal of composer-entertainer George M. Cohan in this 1942 classic. Nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, this patriotic extravaganza, which was released just after Pearl Harbor, took home Oscars for its sound and a musical score that includes the rousing ditties "Over There," "Give My Regards to Broadway," and, of course, the title song. Told in flashback, the rags-to-riches story also features Walter Huston, in an Oscar-nominated performance as Cohan's father. This Two-Disc Special Edition includes outtakes, rehearsals, and documentaries about the film and Cagney's career as well as reminiscences from John Travolta and film critic Leonard Maltin.
